[Verse 1]
A                                 D           E            D              E
  Knock so I'll know you're still there, half listening, interpreting the air.
A                         D          E          D              E
  Full of failing foreign tongue, my dialect of stammer come undone. I've got these
A                  F#m      D             E
threads of you and I that I use to tie my doubts down, and from
A                 F#m        D                E
four times-zones away, still yesterday, still talking to the
D
past: from the front seat of your car, gravel road and falling,

falling hands and falling star. Start the engine up.


[Verse 2]
    A                  D     E               D            E
I'd   like a new identity. A pseudonym. Some plastic surgery.
A                          D          E               D              E
   Or just some way to disappear. Someone to write me out of here. I hear you hum an
A          F#m           D               E
unfamiliar song. Thought maybe you would come along.
   A                  F#m      D                 E
Perhaps you'd like to see some piece of this; my new philosophy is that a
D
   crappy tape deck somewhere plays a greatest hits collection of strange and tender moments,
                              A
lost, stranded, and forgotten.


[Bridge]
E                F#m    D    A
   I'll meet you there.
E                F#m    D   (A)
   I'll meet you there.

[Verse 3]
A                        D          E             D                   E
   Something I forgot to say: can't find a way to make this mark more clear.
A                                 D              E                D             E
   So crack your skull before you weep, and I'll try to keep some part of me sincere.
